Edgerrin Cooper Sidelined Long-Term with Season-Ending Achilles Tear

The Green Bay Packers suffered a major defensive blow as star linebacker Edgerrin Cooper suffered a season-ending torn Achilles during a 17-14 win over the Buccaneers, confirmed by Monday tests. Before being carted off in the third quarter, Cooper had recorded 9 tackles, a sack, and his second career interception. His absence leaves a significant void in the Packers' front seven, with Isaiah McDuffie expected to step up and help anchor the defense alongside waiting pass rusher Micah Parsons.
